Researchers have identified a potential mechanism that explains how turbulent plasma can produce the vast, ordered magnetic fields observed across the universe Cosmic magnetic fields are everywhere, ...

Astronomers analyzing the gravitational-wave signal from a 2020 collision between a black hole and a neutron star report ...

An international team from China and Italy has reported a possible cosmic encore to the landmark 2017 multi-messenger ...

These provide statistical insights into the collisions between the incredibly compact objects that cause them, whether neutron stars or black holes. The new detections have also allowed us to find ...

Astronomers have discovered a strange new signal coming from an exploding star — a “chirp” that speeds up over time, similar to the signals seen when black holes collide. The unusual pattern appeared ...

Researchers report superluminous supernova SN 2024afav whose erratic behavior supports a long-standing theory of stellar ...

For decades, astronomers have used distant supernovae as cosmic lighthouses to test fundamental physics and to measure the ...

Astronomers produced the most complete map of the center of the Milky Way, which can provide insight into how stars and planets are formed.

Ripples in the fabric of space-time called gravitational waves may be the key to solving the Hubble tension — one of the biggest nagging problems in physics.

A new study suggests that "little red dots" spied by the James Webb telescope could be the universe's short-lived first ...

Having a niche interest can make life much more interesting. And there are so many things in life to be interested in. The Internet, of course, makes it that much easier: tutorials, step-by-step ...
